Book number three of a four book science fiction tactical romance
series. I read the well printed and well bound POD (print on demand)
trade paperback self published by the author in 2021 that I bought on
Amazon in 2026. I have purchased the following book in the series.
On a far off colony world far in the distant future, the Federation and
the Imperium are fighting clandestine battles in and around many of
their client states. The usual problem is resources and land snatching.
The terraforming of the planet 600 years before was never completed
and people are needing more and more resources such as hydrocarbons and
food.
"Jenna Brooks is a welder, and a fashionista whenever she can afford it.
AJ is a former Special Forces spacer, who finds himself completely
outside his comfort zone with her. However, terrorist bombs can
overcome almost any divide - the hard way. When Jenna stumbles over a
corpse wearing an important clue, she's roped into a high-stakes counterterrorism operation to uncover a counterfeit fashion ring that's funding the terrorists. As the trail of blood money and knock-off shoes starts leading closer to home, Jenna's going to need all the help she
can get to stay alive. AJ's just the man to do that - but he's after a
lot more than merely her safety. It may cost her everything she's
worked for... and also her heart."
The story is very fast paced and the characters are extremely likable.
The history of the colony world and the various political entities is
not explained very well but that was not necessary for the story to be good.
The author's husband has a very active website where he promotes his
books and her books at:
